BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING

By -

The book of Philippians 4:6-7 says, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God.” And the verse seven reads “and the peace of GOD which surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and minds through Jesus Christ.”

When faced with a challenge or crisis, our tendency, is to get all anxious about it, but God does not want us to react that way. He does not want us to be anxious about anything. Instead, whatever the problem may be, He wants us to come to him in prayer and supplication, telling him what we need and thanking him for an answer.

When we do that, His peace, which surpasses all understanding, comes to guard our hearts and minds from all worries, anxieties and fears. Oh glory to God! It easy for you to say, “be anxious for nothing". Try living with a guardian who does not want you to pray or go to church. Look at the balance in my bank account. I have nothing to eat yet you say I shouldn't be anxious. Hold it! I’m not the one who said "be anxious for nothing", the apostle Paul said it. Yet, it was not him—he was prompted by the Holy Spirit.

Paul wrote this in prison; he was a prisoner under house arrest in Rome. He had been sent to Rome because he had appealed to Caesar regarding his death sentence. The Jews in Jerusalem wanted him to be put to death (Acts 28:16-20) yet, under those conditions, he wrote these words, “BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING”. But in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to GOD.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, if you are anxious or worried about something remember those words. Induce this into your spirit, let it be your life style. If you are anxious about a huge debt, Go to the Lord and pray "Lord Jesus, I no longer want to be anxious about this problem, I hand it over to You and ask for supernatural cancellation of this debt. It is in your care now, You are in charge thank You for taking care of it" GOD is true to his word. As you pray this prayer and cast your care on Him, you will find his peace settling in your heart. So be anxious for nothing, let the One with whom nothing is impossible take care of it for you. AMEN. ( Kwabena Boat )

FLYING ABOVE THE STORM

By -

You don’t ever have to be afraid of the circumstances of life or the challenging situations you may find yourself in. You can always be at peace, because the Bible says there is no fear in him whose mind is stayed on the Lord (Isa. 26:3). It’s up to you how you react to the storms of life that come your way. It’s your decision whether you flee in terror or begin to wring your hands and say, “Oh, my Lord! Why is this happening to me?” We have all been there at one time or another: We all cowered in the face of trouble and wrung our hands wondering, What am I going to do now? But thank God, those days can be gone! No longer do we have to flee in terror from the enemy. We can rise to victory! We can rise to our full potential in the spiritual realm where God wants us to dwell. How? God made Himself plain through His creation. And the Bible often uses nature to teach practical lessons and illustrate certain truths. We can learn valuable lessons from one of God’s majestic creatures: ...

HIS SPIRIT

By -

God created man in his image and likeliness such that man’s actions will reflect His nature. The Bible says God breath into the body the breath of life which is the spirit. He created man in His shape and likeliness; from His Spirit. That’s why the Christian is born of the Spirit not of the flesh; we do not live by blood but by the spirit. God gave man dominion and the authority to create; to subdue the earth. He did not just give us fish to eat, He also thought us how to fish. This is the believer’s authority, we can also say “let there be”. That is why Jesus said "it is finished" to notify that, God’s work on earth is done, He now carries His work through us. He is seated on His throne expecting a glorious end. The Bible says at Mathew 18:18, 16:19 that, “… whatsoever thou shall bind on earth shalt be bound in heaven; whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven ” which means, heaven is backing us in authority. God did not gave us His pow...

Spirit, Soul and Body after the Fall

By -

Adam lived by the breath of life becoming spirit in him. By the spirit he sensed God, knew God’s voice, and communed with God. He had a very keen awareness of God. But after his fall his spirit died. When God spoke to Adam at the first He said, “in the day that you eat of it (the fruit of the tree of good and evil) you shall die” (Gen. 2.17). Adam and Eve nevertheless continued on for hundreds of years after eating the forbidden fruit. This obviously indicates that the death God foretold was not physical. Adam’s death began in his spirit. What really is death? According to its scientific definition, death is “the cessation of communication with environment.” Death of the spirit is the cessation of its communication with God. Death of the body is the cutting off of communication between spirit and body. So when we say the spirit is dead it does not imply there is no more spirit; we simply mean the spirit has lost its sensitivity towards God and thus is dead to Him. The exact situation...
